Things I Read Off the Internet This Week

Hello lovelies! Today I am back to share what I suspect is the start of a longer blog series for me – a post sharing a few interesting things I read off the internet this week. I really like this idea because it allows me to share a little more of my personality with you all as well as inspire you with some interesting and intriguing content from around the web! So, without further ado, here are 5 articles that made this week’s reading list:

1. NY Times: Digital Culture, Meet Analog Fever

This article was actually back from 2015 – two whole years ago! – but came up on my agenda this week as a reading for a Digital Studies class! This article makes the case for how the “old things” before the internet haven’t died – and why things like vinyl records, paperbacks, and prints still exist. It’s about our very relationship with the physical and the digital, and how those two things will never really overpower the other.

2. Huffington Post: The Only Inspiration You Need to Write a Life-Changing Speech

This article gave some solid advice on how to write an amazing and inspiring speech – something that I, personally, have always struggled on when it comes to giving speeches in college classes or even writing my speech for my high school graduation. Luckily, it doesn’t have to be as tough (or scary!) as we think it is!

3. Bustle: Steve & Dustin’s Friendship In ‘Stranger Things’ Season 2 Was A Total Accident

Stranger Things 2 was a wild ride even better (I think) than the first season. I totally binge-watched the entire thing on the first night it came out, and this week I happened to stumble upon a behind-the-scenes article about the show and Steve and Dustin’s friendship, something that I personally loved to watch.

4. Los Angeles Times: If you enjoy sleeping at night instead of the day, thank the dinosaurs for going extinct

As a kid who grew up on the likes of Jurassic Park, I’ve always found things about dinosaurs and ancient history interesting. This article reveals some more details about dino life and how things have changed since then.

5. Glassdoor: 10 Easy Skills to Pick Up Before Applying to a Job

This article covers 10 skills that every job-seeker should add to their portfolio. I personally found this article super helpful because I am in the middle of my own job search. #2 (HTML/coding) is especially something that I want to learn more about, so this article encouraged me to actually spend time doing so in the next few weeks!
